Abstract

The article focuses on the severe consequences of restrictive reproductive rights in Poland, particularly following a 2020 ruling that imposed a near-total ban on abortion. It highlights the tragic stories of several women who died due to complications during pregnancy, which advocates attribute to the chilling effect of the law on medical professionals, who fear legal repercussions for providing necessary care. The article also discusses the upcoming parliamentary elections as a potential turning point for reproductive rights in Poland, as many citizens seek change from the ruling right-wing Law and Justice Party (PiS). Additionally, it draws parallels to similar issues faced in the United States after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. [Extracted from the article]
